Thomas Tuchel has announced England's squad for the World Cup. Players like Alexander-Arnold, Palmer, or Foden have been left at home.

Selector Thomas Tuchel has announced the squad of 26 players for the World Cup, and England will compete without some important figures, such as Phil Foden and Cole Palmer. A surprising call-up was made for Ivan Toney, former striker of the Brentford team, who has played only seven minutes at the international level since Euro 2024. Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has been included in the squad after a return to form, but Harry Maguire, an essential player in defense, has been left out.

Also, Trent Alexander-Arnold, the right-back of the Real Madrid team, was not included, considering his limited recent participation. Veteran Jordan Henderson, selected for the fourth time at the World Cup, is a favorite of Tuchel. The England squad includes only eight players from the team that reached the quarter-finals in 2022. Tuchel emphasized the importance of chemistry and energy in the team, and England is considered one of the favorites of the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, being in Group L alongside Croatia, Ghana, and Panama.
